New Jersey has experienced a two-week break from earthquakes, with the last one occurring near Paramus at a magnitude of 2.4. Small tremors had been recorded in Califon, Gladstone, and Bedminster in the months leading up to this break, with magnitudes ranging from 1.5 to 1.9. Califon has been the most active area recently, experiencing multiple quakes. While New Jersey is not known for large earthquakes, occasional tremors occur due to fault lines in the region. The recent quiet period follows a series of small quakes, particularly in the northern part of the state. Seismologists are monitoring activity, but no significant earthquakes are predicted at this time. The state’s earthquakes are generally minor, causing little to no damage but serving as a reminder of the underlying seismic activity in the region.
